+- 2026-06-07 — iCalendar import / round-trip (extension). `ical.sx` now parses
+  VEVENT/VCALENDAR text back into events (`ev/ical-lines->event`,
+  `ev/parse-vcalendar`): DTSTART/DURATION/RRULE (incl. ordinal BYDAY, BYMONTHDAY,
+  UNTIL/COUNT/INTERVAL) and EXDATE/RDATE. Round-trip is occurrence-exact —
+  export→import expands to the identical occurrence set (tested across one-off /
+  daily-count / weekly+exdate+rdate / monthly-ordinal / bymonthday). Completes
+  bidirectional interop. +19 tests, 360/360 green.
 - 2026-06-07 — Whole-series booking (extension). `ev/book-series!` /
   `ev/cancel-series!` apply a booking/cancel to every occurrence of one event
   in a window (e.g. RSVP the whole weekly class), returning per-occurrence
